Im always looking for new recipes for pasta with prawns and love this new one from Mark Hix. You can use any short pasta as an alternative and in the recipe pictured I used Red Shrimp rather than the prawns specified, but I thibk any good larger prawns would work.
Simple grilled prawns from award winning Ho Chi Minh City chef Quach Thien Tuong. I found the recipe in ” Street Cafe Vietnam” by Annabel Jackson. Use the freshest prawns you can find, and add a spoonful of water if you find that the dip is too tart for your taste.
A subtle South Indian curry from Das Sreedharan which goes well with Tamarind Rice or Indian breads such as Paratha. He recommends using white pumpkin if this is available, but any variety will work well.
This Thai inspired curry is from Nigella Lawson’s ” Nigella Express” and should be served with plain rice or noodles. You can add more coconut milk for a soupier dish , and perhaps toss in some toasted chopped unsalted peanuts if you have them.
